Jarosolav Janus stopped 49 shots and fellow Lightning prospect Mitch Fadden had his second consecutive three assist/plus-three game as Florida won their fourth in a row beating Kalamzoo 5-2 Wednesday night in Michigan. Janus earned First Star for his efforts and the goaltender saw his save percentage rise over .900 for the first time this year. Former Chicoutimi Sagueneen Francis Lemieux (undrafted) had a hat trick for the Everblades. With his three assists, Fadden extended his ECHL points lead to six. Florida teammate Matthew Pistilli, who Fadden set up for the gameâ€™s opening goal 20 seconds into the contest, pulled into a tie for second at 26 points.

Fadden earned a game star for the third straight game and extended his point streak to 4 games with 3 assists Sunday. He is now 3 points up on Elmiraâ€™s Justin Donati for the league lead in points. Donati went scoreless in the game Sunday. Lightning prospect Alex Hutchings was scoreless for the fourth straight game.

Mike McKenzie, son of TSNâ€™s Bob McKenzie, had 2 goals and Fadden added another point to his season totals as Florida beat Reading on the road, 4-2. Florida entered the third period down 2-1. Janus allowed 3 goals or less for the fourth straight game.

Fadden has failed to register a point in only 3 of his 18 games this year. Wednesday night he had two primary assists and Bobby Goepfert stopped 29 shots for the first Blades shutout of the year. Geopfert was a 2002 sixth round pick of the Kings. He played in Germany last season. Hutchings was back in the lineup for Florida after being what is presumed to be a healthy scratch Tuesday night.

Janus had a good game and improved his numbers, but the Everblades fell at home to Trenton. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman took in the game Tuesday. Mitch Fadden had the gameâ€™s opening goal, coming on a wrist shot from the circle while on a 5 on 3 power play. Floridaâ€™s record evened at 9-9 on the season.

Itâ€™s hard to believe one night after putting up 8 goals on Toledo, the Everblades could only manage one goal, scored in the third period. Fadden still leads the league in points, though one of his closest competitors, Michael Dubuc, was called up to AHL Rochester.

Janus came up big for Florida, stopping 40 shots and coming within 7 minutes of a shutout over Toledo. Despite the lopsided score, the shot total was 41-29 for Toledo. With his three points tonight, Fadden took over the leagueâ€™s scoring lead by one point. Hutchings also got in the act, notching a goal and assist for his first points in 5 games. Mike McKenzie, son of TSNâ€™s Bob McKenzie, had a goal and 3 assists for Florida. Adam Keefe, brother of former Lightning pick Sheldon Keefe and captain of Toledo, had 24 penalty minutes for the Walleye.

One game after having his point streak stopped at 10 games, Fadden came up big for the Everblades, scoring twice to help the team snap a 3-game losing streak. Faddenâ€™s goals extended Floridaâ€™s leads to 2-0 and 4-1. The first came on a strong move to the net and the second on a slap shot from the top of the left circle, according to the Everblades. Janus, who was getting extra practice time with the coaching staff Wednesday, watched as Bobby Goepfert stopped 35 of 37 for the gameâ€™s First Star award. Hutchings, meanwhile, hasnâ€™t registered a point in 5 games. Fadden, who had a game-high 8 shots, now sits in fourth in the league in scoring with 19 points, 2 behind Elmiraâ€™s Michael Dubuc and Justin Donati.

Florida came into Greenville with a chance to put some distance between them and the Road Warriors in the division, but dropped all 3 games and are now 1 point behind Greenville and 5 behind Gwinnett. Fadden had his point streak stopped at 10 games.

Fadden extended his point streak to 10 games, but the Everblades were doubled-up by the Road Warriors, 6-3. This wasnâ€™t as close as the score appeared as Greenville had a 4-0 early in the third period. Faddenâ€™s goal came on the power play. Florida is 7-6 on the year, 4 points behind Greenville for first in the South Division.
